The official death count declared by the regime stands at 23,453, around a fifth of the actual figure. On Tuesday the regime\u2019s Health Ministry spokesperson announced 2705 new Covid-19 cases in the past 24-hour period, emphasizing this is the highest such stats in the past month. Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran stressed that the spike in coronavirus cases before the beginning of fall and the flu season is the result of the criminal policies of regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei and regime president Hassan Rouhani. On the one hand, they reopened schools without any health and precautionary measures, while on the other, they held crowded mourning ceremonies during the month of Muharram. The coronavirus outbreak in Iran could have had a much smaller scale, Mrs. Rajavi said. College Students, Workers and Others Rally Across Iran A group of students at Tehran University held a protest rally on Sunday, simultaneously with the beginning of the new school year. The students held several placards and chanted slogans protesting the country\u2019s poor social and economic conditions. Two representatives of the Qazvin Counter Manufacturing Factory workers were arrested on Monday, following a protest rally held by the workers in front of the Qazvin courthouse the day before. Patients suffering from MPS I, along with their families, gathered in front of the Food and Drug Administration on Sunday, protesting being denied access to medicine. This rally was held in the Iranian capital Tehran. The regime\u2019s Revolutionary Guards shot and killed a porter on Monday, in western Iran. Female Political Prisoners Attacked by Boiling Water Female political prisoners in Qarchak Prison were attacked by boiling water on Monday night. Two women hired by Qarchak Prison warden, Mehdi Mohammadi, attempted to pour hot boiled water on political prisoners Forough Taghipour and Parastoo Mo\u2019ini detained in Ward 6. Other inmates in this ward rushed to help the two political prisoners and diverted the boiled water from pouring on them. But the boiled water poured on other inmates and burned their feet. In this regard, the Iranian Resistance called on international human rights organizations to take urgent action to save the lives of political prisoners in Iran.
